I say "uncompleted" mostly because "completing" Shelter requires either dozens of hours or hundreds of dollars, and I'm not spending money on lunchboxes when the 6 or so free ones that I've acquired over 20+ hours have given me spectacular prizes like 300 bottle-caps (when I'm already sitting on 30K just from room production) or extra base energy (which I am also already pulling plenty of via room production).
It's too shallow to really be a true base builder, and the Fallout setting is really just window dressing on a lifeless, grindy, and ultimately boring time-sink.Īt this point, I'm hoping that I find the willpower to set this one aside uncompleted. A sort of amalgamation of SimCity, StarCraft, and - shockingly - Fallout, Fallout Shelter could be so much more than what it is: an easy way to pay an electric bill. Why? Because when I look at the angular, bony skeleton that's underneath all of usual and expected F2P/ mobile bloat, I see the foundation of what could be a solid and somewhat original base builder. Every time I boot it up, I am immediately sad.
If you suffer from the "Completionist's Disease" like I do, save yourself and avoid at all costs. I wrote more about this than I originally anticipated, so here's the tldr: monotonous waste of time that could actually be decent if it wasn't mired in typical F2P sludge.
